Here’s Your Chance for Input!!

The Big Ravine is a local treasure, but faces some challenges, including aging stormwater management and trail infrastructure, accelerated erosion, bank instability, and sediment delivery to downstream drainage systems.

The City of Bayfield, in cooperation with the Bayfield Area Trails Committee, has partnered with Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. (SEH®) to assess the current conditions of the Lower Big Ravine creek, trail, boardwalks, and infrastructure in the context of the changing climate.

To help guide decisions about the future of the Big Ravine, please take a few moments to fill out this short 16-question survey based on your experience of visiting this important community space.

The survey closes on May 10th.
